Educational technology —
commonly referred to as “EdTech” — is an increasingly dynamic space
that fosters innovation in schools and provides solutions to some
of today’s most pressing issues.

To learn more about this space
and the role venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, and investors can
play in shaping the future of education, IVY co-CEO Beri Meric sat
down with Amit Patel, an education expert and Partner at Owl
Ventures. An ed tech-focused venture capital firm, Owl Ventures
invests in the world’s leading technology companies, backing
entrepreneurs with solutions that meaningfully drive improvement in
student achievement.

Amit offered his insights on the
importance of education and the challenges that educators face
today. He believes the private sector plays a critical role in
offering students cutting-edge tools and strategies to improve
educational achievement across the board — from early learning and
K-12 all the way up to higher education and lifelong learning for
our nation’s workforce.
